Changes

Aside from libraries, many add-ons can include minified, obfuscated or compiled code. Since this code can't be easily reviewed without the original sources, only admin reviewers can review them. The Add-on History entry should indicate if the source code has been provided by the developer. If that's not the case, you can use the canned info request.

If the add-on version is not nominated for full review, or if by this point you have sufficient information to deny the add-on full review, you can stop reviewing and submit what you have.

The last step in a review is to install and test the add-on.

These are a few settings and tools you should use or consider using when setting up your add-on testing environment:

*For online malware scanning, you can use [http://www.virustotal.com/ Virus Total], [http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus Kaspersky online scan] and [http://virusscan.jotti.org Jotti online scan]. AMO performs virus checks, and binary add-ons should be admin-reviewed anyway, but if you suspect anything, those are good tools to use.

Add-ons are normally cross-platform, so there will only be a single file to review, in the same section where the validator and source links are located. If the add-on is offered for a limited number of platforms, there will be individual links for each one of them. In this case all supported platforms should be tested.

Regarding applications, you don't need to test the add-on for all applications it supports. If the add-on supports Firefox and others, it's OK to only test on Firefox. If, however, an add-on update introduces Fennec or other application support, the add-on should be tested on it. The applications we support for reviews are listed on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/pages/appversions this page].

*Affiliate linking. Some add-ons add affiliate codes to Amazon links (or similar) in order to make money. At the moment we allow this as long as (1) the add-on follows the No Surprises policy, (2) the feature doesn't replace or remove any existing affiliate codes, (3) the affiliate codes aren't inserted in the merchant website's links (inserting Amazon affiliate codes in Amazon.com pages).

Choose the appropriate resolution and include all of your notes. Make sure you use a corteous and professional tone, and be as helpful as you can when pointing out problems or areas for improvement. If you are pushing the add-on public, thank the author for the time and effort they have put in. Once you're ready, click the ''Process Action'' button.
